I like Cobras and respect them as much as the next Mustang Lover. BUT I know from experience the new GT's seems to be a more forgiving car to race. Luanching in a cobra seems to be trickier.
I've posted before how I beat the guy at work with his 98 Cobra several times in my 2000 5spd red GT (bieng red gives it 5 more HP
).
If it were equal drivers, it should be a good race. I'd go to the bank if I were you and take out 100 $. Hey, nothings better than making money while doing what you love
.
Thats why I'm a porn star
.. Just kidding.
As for the HP question, theres alot more involved than just HP. You have to think of gearing, distance, usefull powerband, wieght. While the tranny and rear gearing are the same, there are tons of other factors.
